Let It Snow

Before we left Seattle to go to Atlanta for Thanksgiving, we got some snow! Being from the South, snow is a winter treat, so I was very excited! It's just so beautiful. The picture is of our new home.

I have now learned how to drive in snow and ice (not very well but I can do it). The city sort of shut down because of the weather. All schools were closed among many other places. I figured Seattle would be prepared for this weather, but they're not. Highways and major roads are cleared but residential roads are not.

The day of our flight to Atlanta, we planned on picking up some skis for me. We didn't realize we had to drive down an icy hill to get them. I have a new saying: what goes down must come up. We couldn't make it up either hill. We kept sliding backwards multiple times. It was really scary! We felt so out of control! Our flight was leaving in less than 2 hours, and we were stuck. I prayed and called AAA. Right when I got through to AAA, Chris decided to give it one more try. We made it and were so relieved! I believe God saved us from the pit we got ourselves into!

It looks like it's going to be a pretty cold winter!
